👷Closure during the #winter season means maintenance for us.

🚢Each year, the 14 boats that color Swissminiatur's #lakes are taken out of the water to be cleaned, repaired and repainted.

💡 Did you know that creating a boat takes over 6 months of work?

📣 All boats will return to sail on the Swissminiatur lakes on March 19, 2022 😉

🔮The legend of the La Sarraz Castle 🎃 At th

🔮The legend of the La Sarraz Castle 🎃

At the birth of Ebal IV of Grandson, the only heir to the throne, his father invited magicians to the castle. One of them drew an ember from the fire and exclaimed: "May this child's life last as long as this ember!", stabbing the wood into a crack in the wall of the La Sarraz Castle. The heir to the throne lived a long life, until the day when, too tired to go on living, he pulled the log out of the crack and threw it into the fire. The day when the crack burned completely through the fire to ashes, Ebal IV, Baron of La Sarra died at the age of 100.✨
